hi, I just wanted to let you know you aren’t on your own, my boy is almost 2 and has had periods of sleeping through, but at the moment he is waking at least once in the night and needing attention of some sort. Are you in UK? I noticed he got worse due to the light mornings so I bought some blackout fabric to keep the room dark and they helped a bit. Other than that I guess we just have to keep going and eventually we will get through it, as tiring as it is!

Hi Rosemadder9, Yes I am in UK! Thank you 🙏🏻 very much for your advice! I will go find the blackout fabric to keep the room dark to see if that might make a difference, I found it very hard to keep going as only had 4-5 hours sleep/ 24 hours a day. Regards X

Hi Anne, you are welcome I hope the fabric helps a little. I changed my sons bedtime routine at the same time which helped too although it’s been so hot recently I’ve been putting him to bed quite a lot later than normal and he hasn’t seemed to mind at all, better that than him crying for an hour and getting even more hot and bothered x

Hi,Ann ,is baby well ,could he be teething, have you altered his bedtime routine ,it should be the same every night ,turn off Tv Tablets etc a slowing down about an hour before bed a bath cuddle and story even if it's just looking at the

same picture book each night , do you give him a feed when he wakes he could just be waking for this , if you think he is really hungry give him more tea our supper.Don't rush in when he wakes he needs to learn how to get himself back to sleep .Go on mums net on line and ask again you will get dozens off replies from mums all going through this now .sorry if baby is a girl you didn't say 😀good luck it does end 🙏before you know it will be first day of school xxx

Thank you for your advice! 🙏🏻 he waking up around 3am every night walking around on the bed from one side to other side talking and shouting out for at least 2 hours, very stressful as we never had any good sleep more than 3-4 hours for everyday 24 hours/ day, we couldn’t get him to look at the book as he will chew it or tear the book apart, we had to use white noise to put him to sleep every single night (raining sound), you probably right about waking up because of hungry ! I will try this trick. Regards X

I never thought of hunger, I always give mine a banana and then his milk last thing before he goes to bed x
